Regardless of which style you are using, you need to keep track of some basic information from each of the sources you use. You might want to keep a list of this information or make an index card for each source and put this information on it. Please note: Not all of this information will be available for every source. Gather as much of it as you can and use that to build your citations.
Make sure you look for:
the author's name(s) or artist's name
the editor's name(s)
the title of the source
information about which edition of the source you're using
the city and state of publication
the publisher's name
the date of publication
the volume and issue number if it is a magazine or journal
the URL if it is an online source
If you are using part of a work or a quote rather than the whole work, look for all of the above as well as:
the section title
the page numbers
If it is an online source, be sure to record the date you accessed it.
If you record all of this information as you go through your research, you will have a much easier time building a bibliography than if you don't.
